Umbilical cord Blood Analysis for Women at First Spontaneous Vaginal Delivery OBJECTIVE: To analyze the gas values of the umbilical cord blood in the first vaginal delivered babies and to verify those differences of the effects associated with obstetrical interventions including delivery mode, episiotomy, epidural anesthesia and uterine augmentation, and the other effects including prolonged duration of the second stage and excess maternal body mass index. DESIGN: A prospective descriptive study of umbilical cord artery and vein blood gas results. METHODS: During the period from August 2003 and February 2004 in the Hospital of Chung-Shan Medical University, umbilical cord blood gas results were analyzed of forty term-newborns delivered vaginally from forty health-nulliparous women. RESULTS: The mean age of 40 nulliparous woman with singleton was 27 year-old (range 15-37,SD 5.17). The mean of maternal BMI was 25.3 (range,21-32; SD, 2.51) The mean duration of second stage was 30.9 min (range 4-85,SD 20.6) The mean birth fetal weight was 2947 gm (range 2210-3720, SD 351.8).Thirty-three of forty babies was umbilical artery levels of ph7.20, and nine of forty newborns was ph7.20. Using Uni-variate logistic regression for those factors, fetal acidosis had no significant associations with those obstetric interventions which were episiotomy use (OR, 1.22 ; 95%CI, 0.21-7.11), oxytocin augmentation (OR, 1.05 ;95% CI, 0.22-5.08), vacuum extraction (OR, 3.59 ;95% CI, 0.77-16.8) and epidural anesthesia (OR, 2.67 ; 95% CI, 0.37-19.2), and the other concerned factors which were the duration of second stage (30 min) (OR, 1.73 ;95% CI,0.39-7.72) and maternal Body mass index(25) (OR, 1.88; 95% CI,0.39-8.88). After controlling the confounding factors with multi-variate logistic regression,episiotomy use (Odds Ratio, 1.096 ;95% Confidence Intervals, 0.07-16.6), oxytocin augmentation (Odds Ratio, 16.48 ;95% Confidence Interval, 1.21-226.1), vacuum extraction (Odds Ratio, 10.76 ;95% Confidence Interval, 1.025-112.9), epidural anesthesia (Odds Ratio, 0.074 ; 95% Confidence Interval, 0.003-2.09), the duration of second stage (30 min) 4
(Odds Ratio, 0.93 ;95% Confidence Interval,0.155-5.58) and maternal Body mass index(25) (Odds Ratio, 1.71; 95% Confidence Interval,0.25-11.6). Fetal acidosis had significant associations fetal acidosis with oxytocin augmentation (Odds Ratio, 16.48 ;95% Confidence Interval, 1.21-226.1) and vacuum extraction (Odds Ratio, 10.76 ;95% Confidence Interval, 1.025-112.9) The umbilical artery levels of ph of the obstetric intervention group (n=32) and non-obstetric intervention group (n=8) were 7.25 (SD, 0.076) vs 7.29 (SD, 0.039) which also had no statistic significancy ( p=0.075). CONCLUSION: Forty newborns had no neurologic defects at birth and no mortality and no morbidity during postnatal care. By measuring the umbilical blood ph, the obstetric interventions including episiotomy use, oxytocin augmentation, vacuum extraction and epidural anesthesia had no significant association with fetal acidosis (ph7.20) when using uni-variate logistic regression. Fetal acidosis had significant associations fetal acidosis with oxytocin augmentation (Odds Ratio, 16.48 ;95% Confidence Interval, 1.21-226.1) and vacuum extraction (Odds Ratio, 10.76 ;95% Confidence Interval, 1.025-112.9) when using multi-variate logistic regression. The group of obstetric interventions and the group of non-obstetric interventions also had no significant difference with fetal acidosis at birth in nulliparous women. 5
